My European family live in the U.S. and Australia. Not sure how you think Australia is open to immigrants. The illegals are shipped off to an island with well-documented abuse and the legal are not treated very well. We are white so fared much better but Australia is well-known for being racist.

Your daughter having a disability will make it impossible for her to move to another country. Wake up.
Eff off. Why would you say this, instead of something helpful? What's wrong with you?
Because it’s true. Look at any immigration forum. Migration to any European country, even with socialized healthcare will require the new immigrant not be a burden on the state. If your kid needs substantial Medicaid it will be near impossible to get any migration visa. Get real.

The purge of disloyal generals is beginning. I fear we are beyond the point that even a coup would happen.
I can’t stay here and watch it all burn.
There will be sham elections, that’s all. We’re past the point of no return. A military coup would be the only hope, but they probably already have that base covered.

The only thing that will rile up most privileged Americans will be when they come after your SSRIs.
You do know that most privileged Americans are scared of this administration and horrified by Trump. That’s why we are thinking of fleeing our own country. The tone deafness it would take to come on to this thread and say Americans don’t care…. Just wow.
The PP is right. Most Americans don’t care. And maybe privileged Americans like you should use your privilege to do something instead of running away.
NP. If I was a billionaire I’d use my $$ to run anti-trump and Elon ads. I’m privileged, but can’t afford that and compete with the oligarchs, so I’ll run away.
So because you're not a billionaire, you're going to run away and leave the least privileged Americans to suffer?
As opposed to doing what?
+1
What do you expect the PP to do?
How can any individual fight the massive number of idiots who believe the relentless flow of misinformation?
I don't know, maybe not just bail?
What makes you think other countries want to take in selfish cowards?
I know, you'll say it's not your fault and you'll be welcome anywhere because you have money, and you don't care even if you're not welcome because your family blah blah....and that is precisely why Americans are so despised around in the world and why the country was so susceptible to this in the first place.

Not to mention that the people who do have some power are doing nothing, e.g. Congress people. They are obviously hamstrung by something. What can average people going to do if the reps can’t do anything.

I think we will still have elections, they just won’t be free and fair. No doubt there are parallels to other authoritarians and America is going to be significantly changed by this administration. I think people just don’t know how extreme it will get.
